Dark Brown Felt Hat

This hat I used natural dark brown fleece from South Australia and a little courser than I use for most of my hats being 18 micron Merino, but I like a change and each fibre gives a different result.
I made this hat using the larger size resist and therefor a larger crown and brim.
I added embellishments of green/brown silk and two commercial yarns in those tonings to give it texture.

See this hat at Bellingen May 2011

Erupting Volcano Felt Hat

Earth ,Water, Wind, Fire is the theme for this years Alice Springs Beanie Festival 2011. I am entering this in the competition and see if I have any luck but after being up at Alice Springs a couple of years back and seeing the competition entries I havent much luck, but I would be happy to sell it.
If have just finished this hat and have packed it away with other beanies and spun wool yarns.
I used pre dyed merino fleece and tussah silk and angelina (glitter) for embellishement.
It would fit a large size head but probably worn at a party or for a Fun event.

Alpaca Suri Beanie

An earlier post shows me carding alpaca suri very dark reddish chocolate brown.
It wasn't long before I spun it up and knitted this beanie. I found this scorpian in a shop so sewed it on. Rather gruesome.

Below is the other alpaca I spun up and knitted a soft beret type beanie.
It looks like I have a strip of darker colour alpaca but it just happened that way
